It all started with the desire for a new gaming mouse and as this was then met I needed a matching saucer for the new rodent. But as is so to get even with this issue quickly from 100th to 1000th. The whole is already happening in the question: What kind of material should have the pad? Here I chose in the end for a Stoffpad. Which of course a thorough research / analysis as habits, preferences or what games and how many times I play this ..., preceded. In the end, I came across the pads by the company Sharkoon, especially the Drakonia it did to me. The company has always been a kind of low-cost suppliers for myself what an absolute "no go" for me was. Now I am by reading various reviews on Amazon about various Mouse from Sharkoon been shown otherwise. Now it has been some time in service with me and I'm thrilled. This starts with the packaging. This saw the price quite high from what I did not expect for the price. First unpack I can say the pad is equally good on the table, because it does not ship rolled like other pads. In many previous reviews the issue ahead smell was a major shortcoming of this I can confirm, yes it smells slightly rubber (logically yes has an anti-slip underside of rubber or something similar). Now the smell is not overly annoying and after a day he was no longer perceptible to me. For processing, I can only say good. The edges are umstick so that there is no danger for extended use, that the uppermost layer detaches. The sliding properties are for a Stoffpad and as far as I can judge also top. My mouse glides effortlessly without strain on the pad. To the bottom, I can say on my desk it "bombs" firmly because nothing slips! Last but not least the thickness of the pad is optimal, it is not suppressed, yet it supports the wrist so the slow fatigue phenomena come to light after prolonged operation or gambling. This is not the same as seen on the thickness of the pad. All in all top of the money you can spend even more, whether that is better remains to be seen and to be regarded by each individually. I give a strong buy recommendation for the Drakonia pad. Price / Performance Top !!!
